What is indirect bilirubin?
Indirect bilirubin is a type of bilirubin that is unconjugated, meaning it is not bound to other compounds in the liver. It is produced when red blood cells break down and is then processed by the liver to be converted into direct bilirubin for excretion. High levels of indirect bilirubin in the blood may indicate liver or gallbladder issues.
Can indirect bilirubin be more than total bilirubin?
yes
Why is indirect bilirubin not seen in urine?
Indirect bilirubin is lipid-soluble and cannot be filtered by the kidneys due to its binding with albumin. It needs to be processed by the liver to convert it into water-soluble direct bilirubin for excretion in the urine.
